We're missing some ideal weather right now. I've never been to a one woman hairdresser shop. Gage needs to see a dentist but I've been putting it off.

I'm considering going to the hair salon in a week or two, maybe with a mask.

With restaurants in the area just beginning to open up for dine-in service, I imagine salons won't be far behind. I don't mind the length of my hair, but both my husband and daughter have commented on the amount of gray that is coming through at my roots. I broke down and am waiting for a hair dye kit to come in the mail. As much as I loathe the idea of coloring my own hair (I've never been completely happy with past results), it might be for the best. With all the budget cuts coming, there's been talk of furloughs in my agency. Might as well try to save money where we can. I'm not sure I'd be comfortable going to the salon anyway at this point. <br /><br />I do need to schedule a physical for Mouse and an optometry appointment for me. Although, I admit I'm not sure what will happen if I need new glasses, which I'm sure I will. I am not sure they want customers trying on a bunch of frames. Stores won't even let people try on clothing or shoes at this point. I don't imagine glasses are all that different.<br /><br />I hope you have a great week. Good luck at the salon! Stay safe and well.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755001368713174831.post-87651523831114625442020-05-24T16:08:26.705-05:002020-05-24T16:08:26.705-05:00Such pretty flowers!

My son had a dentist appointment, a doctor's appointment, and a hair appointment in the last few weeks and it's been fascinating to see all the precautions they're taking. The hair place was the most normal but it's a small place that only has a few people in it at the best of times and they were spacing appointments to give them a chance to sanitize between patients. At the pediatric dentist they were checking temperatures in the parking lot and then a hygienist was coming out and taking the child from the car to go inside while the parent waited in the car. My son said they were big partitions between each chair and they were basically in hazmat suits. I'm sure if you had a little kid or a kid with anxiety they'd allow you in with them but we were fine. We have had crazy storms lately which is making the temperatures go crazy. Sometimes it's in the 90s and other days it's in the 60s! Hope you have a great week!

I'm due for a 6-month checkup next month, but I'm going to hold off maybe until the end of the year. We're in Phase 1 here on the coast and expect to see a lot of tourists now that short term rentals have resumed and restaurants are re-opening (with regulations, of course). We're staying home since those tourists will be traveling from areas that may have higher infection numbers than our little county. I noticed today we had another confirmed case and I wouldn't be surprised if there's a jump by mid-June. I can hold off on my haircut for many, many months, but I'm glad you are able to get in, especially as the first customer of the day! Sorry about your weather. I remember how miserable I was during the summer months when we lived in TX. I won't tell you how cool it is here... :) Take care and be safe!Les in Oregonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15053880852764886416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755001368713174831.post-41905705558030569152020-05-24T13:11:47.872-05:002020-05-24T13:11:47.872-05:00I haven't bothered to look at my calendar in a...I haven't bothered to look at my calendar in a long time since I haven't had anything on the schedule but grocery shopping.

I'm in Illinois so we are closed until June but then things will begin opening back up as well. Luckily, this is summer time and I work from home already so not much will change.

I'm glad to hear your hair stylist is making all the safety precautions. I've seen many people here queueing outside the salons on the first day they reopen and decided that I'll wait a while to visit even though mask wearing is still mandatory. I suppose we all have to adjust to the "new normal" from now. Hope you've a great weekend!
